Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (10-oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1 (19-oz) package ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs (no honey, corn syrup, HFCS in bread)
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, a few minutes, being careful not to burn garlic. Drain oil through fine strainer to get out garlic. (easier on the tummy).

3. Squeeze as much moisture out of spinach as possible. Place spinach in large bowl and add turkey, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, nutmeg, oregano and salt. Add oil flavored by the garlic and mix together until evenly combined, being careful not to over mix so meatballs won’t be too tough.

4. Scoop tablespoons of turkey mixture and roll into balls slightly smaller than ping-pong balls. Should yield approx. 32 meatballs of this size.

5. Place balls onto baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes (up to 30, 25 was perfect in our oven) – until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

6. Can be pre-baked, flash-frozen and then transferred to a freezer container for later re-heating.
